Farther and farther I should see …
To where the roads on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

The hour of midnight must be near
So many ghosts, and forms of fright,

I had been passing alone, on horseback … and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.

Even now I remember those pictures, like pictures in a storybook … leaves ankle-deep on a gusty autumn road; bonfires and fog in the valleys; cellos, dark window-panes, snow.
